Out of Oxygen but Not a willing Heart
First of all, I just only need to three things (right now)
First, I need oxygen.
Second, I need sun.
Lastly, I Pinoy foods.
Imagine me climbing up those ''freaking'' hills with some chills with my three sweaters and one huge jacket. Imagine me saying the word ''pucha'' every step I am making and do some 3 minutes rest in the middle of nowhere. It's funny right. That's my daily routine here in Cerro de Pasco. I also shower every other day too 'cause we don't have a hot shower. 😂 (It's fine I don't sweat at all) I just don't want to go on details on how our room sucks and how am I able to survive this.
Getting up at 7:00 o' clock is really a dilemma too. Thank goodness to all those FSY and EFY music I have in my flash drive that makes my ''snoory'' self to be alive every morning. I even doodles some motivational quotes in our window saying ''Spread sunshine'' or ''Look for the Good in anything'' kind of stuff. I can do all I can do to be better each day, so I am fine.
What I like most about my area is it is Centro, means there are some food stalls and restos that we could eat. Our pension cooks ''mas o menos'' so this week, me and my comp decided that we could just like go outside and buy some food. Our top list favorite is ''huevo-sancochado'' 🍳 or had boiled egg in the streets. It is nutritious and cheap too. Two eggs for 1 soles. The old man sells with his microphone like this: Huevo sancochado, que rico mi huevos. (Hard boiled eggs everyone, my eggs are so delicious or tasty) We almost died laughing with his slogan. We ate tons of ''pollo broster'' too this week, pollo broaster is a fried chicken with french fries! (I work better if I am well fed) Haha.
My Pinoy charm is working again here in Cerro. Our ward is really helping us to find and teach people. Our bishop just called us last night and he said that we need to teach two young people name Nayeli and Angelo. Our bishop accompanied us too.
We went to Nayeli and Angelo's house yesterday and we taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it went well too good. We invited them to be baptized so this November 30th we will have baptism service for them.
I met their mom ( Hermana Jovanah) which was an inactive but have faith in our church once again and she wanted her children to be baptized. I listened and I felt the Spirit when she was talking. I shared about the importance of having faith. I love their family.
So, I was just reminded that maybe this is the reason why we had an emergency transfer. Maybe God wants me to be here but more than anything it's all about His sons and daughters. I am just His instrument.
Lesson learned: Instead of complaining about ''my'' situation. It is better to lose myself in the work. Because I realized that it is not always about ''ME'' it is about ''HIS'' and ''OTHERS''.
I love BYU devotionals too. I love hearing those inspired words of those speakers. I have tons of them. So everyday before I sleep I cram myself to learn more about my purpose in life. Naks.
While contacting people we have this ''pink chalk'' to mark every house that we knocked. You know. Hahaha. Like those consensus. I also drew a map in our area. Because we don't have any reliable maps here. I was really funny how I sketched it but it is really helpful.
I am thankful that I am with my Ecuadorian comp. Elder Eras is his name. I am probably dead now or even jump up the window. He's super funny and wants to learn English too. So I help him. He's a great photographer too. Haha.
See you again this week!
Just hold on this promise:
Isaiah 40:29
"He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless."
Happy 44 days before Christmas 🎅🎄
